A CORD OF THREE STRANDS IS NOT QUICKLY BROKEN

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
-Ecclesiastes 4:12

SUPPORT TEAM

Your Support Team is a group of friends and/or family members that are willing to commit to supporting you during your foster or adoptive journey. The support you receive from your Support Team can make the difference between a thriving family and disheartening isolation.
 
Project 1.27 families are required to bring at least four Support Team Members to Support Team Training before approaching their agency for certification.
 
A Support Team member commits to:
  • Pray for your family.
  • Understand the foster care/adoption journey by participating in Support Team Training and utilizing the monthly Support Team Blogs.
  • Spend time with family and children.
  • Encourage by assisting with practical needs like short-term child care, transportation, meals, house cleaning, yard work, etc.

SUPPORT GROUPS

Having adequate support is essential when fostering or adopting. While there is ongoing Case Manager support available to every Project 1.27 family, we encourage you to find local support groups which provides networking, encouragement and ongoing training. Join one of the listed support groups, or if there’s nothing in your area, contact us to start one
We do our best to keep an updated list of Colorado support groups, but if you know of any changes to support group times or locations, please keep us updated by emailing info@project127.com.
​
If you are attending a support group session as part of your Project 1.27 training, please fill out and bring this certificate to the support group. Remember, this is an opportunity to observe and identify questions to ask your Case Manager.

FIND A FOSTER ADOPTION FRIENDLY CHURCH

Christians are called to care for the orphaned, children who need the protection and provision of a family. In our own neighborhoods, there are kids in foster care who need us to provide safety and stability in the midst of a family crisis.
A CHURCH WHERE...
  • Caring for vulnerable children is part of the church culture
  • Everyone in the congregation is consistently reminded to care for vulnerable children
  • Foster, kinship and adoptive families find encouragement and practical support
  • Children who have experienced trauma, grief and loss can grow into the people God designed them to be

HOW CAN PROJECT 1.27 HELP...
  • Provide information about foster care, kinship and adoption
  • Support development of a foster, kinship and adoption ministry
  • Offer foster, kinship, adoption friendly church designation so your church can be easily identified by those families
  • Offer biblically based, state approved certification training
  • Provide ongoing support and encouragement to ministry leaders and families
